Got a pinch of salt handy? Good. An “insider” is claiming that they’ve see the script and that all of the above villains will play a part! Hit the jump to read a pile of plot details and spoilers about all that and more…

We all know how unreliable these anonymous sources tend to be, but I know how desperate we all are for news on the third, and final, installment in Christopher Nolan’s Batman franchise so figured I’d let you guys be the judge of whether this is genuine or not. If nothing else, it makes for an interesting read as there are a lot of genuinely excellent sounding plot points and characters included in the outline. The only thing that makes me doubt it, is the fact that it sounds just TOO busy for one two and a half hour film! Anyway, enough talk. Read on…

“My buddy works at WB, he emailed me the script, I asked him if I can “spoil the news” he said sure go ahead but not many would believe me, so I said ok. In other words, I have the script, whether you believe me or not, is up to you, btw, we will be getting a press release in mid January – qoute me on that!

“Main villain of the film is Dr. Hugo Strange, and I believe Tom Hardy is playing Black Mask. This movie will indeed blow everyone to shreds! It’s more violent and darker then TDK. The female lead is Talia al Ghul and Sarah Essen, Bullock is in the film. Dr. Hugo Strange is the main villain, Black Mask replaces Salvatore Ramoni recruits Killer Croc as the muscle to take down the Bat. Killer Croc is known to be a psychopathic killer with diseased reptile function skinned, who’s an expert in hand to hand combat and extremely agile.

“I don’t want to spoil the opening sequence, but they mention both [Harvey Dent & the Joker], and they give a Harlee Quinzel reference. Batman and Gordon are on good terms, but they keep a very low profile since Gordon is the one who’s leading the task force, and Bullock hates Gordon.

“Bat chopper is in the film, there will be flashback scenes with Ras and a young Talia. Talia is the second villain, Black Mask is the side villain much like how Carmine Falcone and Salvatore Maroni was in the Batman Begins and TDK, they tie in Talia with Dr. Strange. There is no Robin. Batcave is back, Batman has a shit load of new weapons as well, some seem a bit unrealistic though. Bat plane much like a jet plane, no mentions of a new Batsuit just yet.

“We see a torture scene with the Scarecrow by Dr. Strange, apparently Scarecrow was truly working for Hugo in Batman Begins. It was Hugo Strange who supplied Scarecrow with the fear toxin, Scarecrow failed him, so Strange wanted to teach Scarecrow a lesson in “true meaning of fear.” Strange and Talia are tied in due to the fear toxin, Killer Croc and Black Mask are thrown in. Batman is combating a lot of guys in the movie, there’s a lot of action here, epic fight scene with Talia on the rooftop of Wayne enterprise, a superb action scene with Killer Croc in the Narrows, and an awesome Black Mask confrontation at Arkham. Also, Scarecrow gets killed by Dr. Strange in Arkham.”

So, there you have it. A creative piece of fan fiction is the most likely answer to whether or not this is genuine (can you imagine how tight security must be around a script as hot as The Dark Knight Rises) but stranger things have been proven true before now! I think the most obvious way of deducting it’s authenticity will be whether or not Warner Bros contact CBM and the other sites reporting this and ask for it to be removed. Stay tuned, and be sure to share your thoughts below!

This just in, John Favreau has informed Marvel Studios that he will not be returning to direct Iron Man 3. Favreau Tweeted yesterday that he was leaving Iron Man3 to work on the film Magic Kingdom, but that hasn’t stopped the internet from speculation that he has left as a result of the ongoing cost cutting moves regarding the feature film budgets over at Marvel.

I for one hate to see him go. He’s brought a level of excitement to these adaptations rarely seen in comic book movies. I think the biggest thing is he respects the source material and up to this point hasn’t let the studio bully him into making a corny toy fest (i’m looking at you Fantastic Four).

No one seems to be lined up to replace him as of yet but i wouldn’t be surprised to see a music video director or someone with a real visual flair to step in and take over the franchise. It’s yet to be seen if Robert Downey Jr. will be returning as Iron Man after The Avengers, but if he does I expect he will have a large hand to play in who replaces Favreau.

In a wild west version of our world which just happens to be populated by random english speaking animals, the lizard with the fastest gun is king. That’s the message I take from this awesome trailer for “Rango”, the latest animated tour de force to draw in A list talent. Johnny Depp stars as Rango, a chameleon that aspires to be a swashbuckling hero who finds himself in a Western town plagued by bandits and is forced to literally play the role in order to protect it. This is the first animated feature for special effects company Industrial Light & Magic and they certainly look to have lived up to their potential on this one. You really get the feeling that the various animals exist in some wild west parallel universe and are having the time of their lives shooting it up with bad guys.

From the writer of Red Dawn and Apocalypse Now comes the story of a fallen America. The year is 2027. The world as we know it is unraveling after fifteen years of economic meltdown and widespread global conflict over dwindling natural resources and America has been take over by The Greater Korean Republic. Sounds like a downer huh? Well this is the part where we pick up our guns, join the resistance and fight back, at least according to the game. The idea of joining the resistance and fighting a common enemy is a theme we’ve seen before from John Milius’s work and I’d be interested to see if he adds anything to the mix we haven’t seen in other games and movies of this ilk. Either way the trailer certainly peaked my interest. Check it out and look for it on shelves in March of 2011.

Heres the official description…
Homefront is set in a near future America in 2027 when a now-nuclear armed Korean People’s Army invades the USA, defeating the United States Army and reducing it to nothing from the superpower it once was. The game is written by John Milius the writer of Apocalypse Now and Red Dawn.

Uncharted 3 Drakes Deception hit the airwaves last night appearing on the Spike TV video game awards show and the thirty second teaser clip did not disappoint. Featuring some of the most realistically rendered cg cut scenes i have ever seen in a game, i was literally blown away by what they have created. Each new generation of this game seems to bring us closer and closer to the photo realistic gaming we’ve been told would

I came across this little beauty over at the yahoo movies page and I must say I’m thoroughly impressed. Marvel has put together a solid cast for this film and I’m looking forward to seeing how this movie ties in with the Avengers film. Hemsworth and that Hammer look bad ass in the action sequences and the scope of the film in general looks pretty huge. Joining Hemsworth and Natalie Portman in this film will be Rene Russo, Clark Gregg, Jaimie Alexander, Ray Stevenson, and Anthony Hopkins. Release is slated for May 6, 2011.

What’s this movie about? I thought you’d never ask…

The powerful but arrogant warrior Thor is cast out of the fantastic realm of Asgard and sent to live amongst humans on Earth, where he soon becomes one of their finest defenders.
